GENERAL NOTES

NOTICE (SAEP-1160, Section 9.2): Use of Welding and NDT SAICS 9.2.1 One SAIC per day per activity is required for production welding on a daily or continual basis, e.g., fit-up, in-process, and final
inspection. Applicable weld numbers must be entered in the Remarks Box on the appropriate SAIC. 9.2.2 Special welding activities such as branch connections, tie-ins, sleeve installation, hot-tap welding, and
temperature tie-ins will require a separate IR per weld per activity in accordance with the applicable SATIP. 9.2.3 NDT subcontractors must complete NDT Checklists on a daily basis per above but not as an IR
with the exception of the start of NDT activities. Inform Company Inspection prior to the start of work in any new areas.
The first three incidents of each Inspection or testing activity listed require 100 % participation by Saudi Aramco Site Inspection Personnel. After this period, Saudi Aramco Inspection may adjust the
1
levels of Saudi Aramco participation based upon the Contractor’s performance.
2 Surveillance: QA/QC organization to monitor work in progress without notice from Construction Organization
Witness: QA/QC organization shall be notified of the timing of Inspection or test in advance. However, the inspection or test shall be performed as scheduled if the QA/QC
3
organization representative is not present.
Hold: QA/QC organization shall be notified of the timing of inspection or test in advance. Inspection or test shall not be carried out without the QA/QC organization
4
representative in attendance.
5 If the Main Contractor delegates the assigned responsibility to the Subcontractor, then the Main Contractor will have the same degree of responsibility as assigned to Saudi Aramco.
